10th annual Beer and Sake Festival

The food: Because all that swimming works up an appetite, the Beer & Sake Festival has eats from local restaurants like Alchemy, Arterra, Azuki Sushi, Nobu and Shimbashi Izakaya. Proceeds from this popular 21-and-up affair benefit the Japan Society of San Diego and Tijuana, which builds rapport between cultures.

The Japanese term: Speaking of cultural goodwill, “kanpai,” is how the toast goes.
